Title
A great Firefish Purple Goby!
Origin: Eastern Asia

Size info:
Size M: approx. 2 - 3"

There once was a fish called Firefish
Whose purple hue was quite stylish
It lives in the reef
With a mouth so brief
And its fins, oh so delicate and childish

But don't let its looks trick you, my dear
For this fish has a talent quite clear
With its lightning-fast speed
It can quickly succeed
In escaping all sorts of danger and fear

So if you're diving in the deep blue sea
And a Firefish Purple Goby you do see
Just admire its grace
As it darts from place to place
A true beauty, a wonder to be
